More short sighted corporate greed. It's a great period to try and pull in Twitter users but instead let's add ads for a short term bump in profits.

I feel that almost certainly that is where Musk got the idea from, it worked for them, etc!

I've heard a saying, two things you should never do on the Internet are argue or explain. It takes up a lot of mental energy and time to do it for no reward.

Seems like the cops should now be worried about civilian phones exploding and now might consider shooting anyone that tries to hand them a phone /s

They were searching backpacks and lockers in my high school back in the 90's, student privacy has been dead for a long time. And at the same time they let students keep rifles in their cars on school grounds during hunting season so those students could hunt before school. There's no real logic at work, just school boards reacting.

It's because the news media industry as a whole has stuck with Twitter as their primary social media site. It's kinda hilarious how much they seem to like it and how much time they spend there.

I wonder if the DoJ actually does split up Google if separating Chrome would make any difference with behavior like this?

Server side ads sound more expensive for Google to me. I'll just use some future plugin that blacks out the screen or whatever if it comes to that.

There is no learning, companies just move to different antivirus. The new hotness, the cycle repeats over and over until the new antivirus does this same shit. Look at McAfee in 2010, in fact the CEO of Crowdstrike was the CTO of McAfee then. That easily took down millions of windows XP machines.

All of the security vendors do it over enough time. McAfee used to be the king of them.

I think any DLC would have been far from mediocre. Given how much post release support they've done, I have no doubt DLC would have been stellar. But that's my point, the passion for the core game is so clear! But I'm excited to see what the mod community can do with good tools.

I'm still having so much fun with this game that the lack of DLC hurts my feelings, lol! I'm just amazed they didn't give Larian a blank check to do anything DLC wise once the awards kept flooding in.
